Polynucleotide treatments are an increasingly popular non-invasive cosmetic procedure. The product is derived from a highly purified and sterilised DNA from fish, where a clear liquid (taken from the genetic strands of salmon) is injected into different areas of the face, including the cheeks, the neck, the mouth, and the under-eye area. It can also be used to treat thinning hair, as well.
These injections are used strategically to stimulate collagen production, regenerate, and improve the texture of the skin, while helping to tackle the first signs of ageing, such as wrinkles and fine lines, as well as addressing dark circles, puffiness, and hollowing under the eyes.
The main benefits of this treatment include boosting collagen production and elastin, rejuvenating the skin on the face and neck, improving hydration, circulation and skin quality.
Around the eyes, it can help address issues like puffiness, crow’s feet and fine lines, while on the forehead it can be used as an alternative to Botox, in order to successfully treat fine lines.
On the cheek area, it can be beneficial in smoothing out folds and lines, hydrating the skin and delivering a tightening and lifting effect. On the neck, it can help treat fine lines, while around the jawline it can help tighten the skin and add definition.

Successfully treat crow’s feet, fine lines, dark circles, puffiness, and hollowing around the eyes with polynucleotide injections.
The skin on your forehead is thinner than elsewhere so fine lines can show up there first. Beat the first signs of ageing with polynucleotide injections, smoothing out fine lines and restoring and rejuvenating your skin.
These treatments can be used successfully on the cheek area of the face, boosting hydration, tightening and lifting the cheeks while smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles.
Enjoy a tighter and more defined jawline through the use of this particular cosmetic treatment.
Fine lines and crepey loose skin can be particularly apparent on the neck area, but these injections can help address these symptoms and make your skin look younger and firmer.
Lines around the mouth can manifest if you smoke, but you can address these easily with polynucleotides, smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles without adding any unwanted volume.
Polynucleotide treatments typically take approximately 60 minutes to complete.
These injections are typically considered to be safe for anyone over the age of 18, but they’re unsuitable for pregnant/breastfeeding women.
These treatments can be administered using a needle or cannula. Downtime from needle injections is one to two days, while downtime for cannula treatments is between 12 to 24 hours. The procedures are both minimally invasive, so recovery is kept to a minimum.
You will need an initial course of two to three treatments approximately four weeks apart and then a top-up treatment every six to nine months to continue enjoying the results. You should see signs of improvement after about a week, with the full effect visible after four weeks.
These treatments are suitable for anyone over the age of 18, apart from vegans and pregnant/breastfeeding women.
